Use: lobyy, there is a need for adaptation and change

Most lobbying firms are struggling with an exodus of lobbyists and loss of clients. But many underline: "We are not worse off than others, but there is a need to change the system".

Use: lobyy, there is a need for adaptation and change

Lobbying firms, most of which are based in Washington on no less than K street and 19th (just over three blocks from the White House), want to revamp their system as major lobbyists have complained of a glut of dominance of companies. Furthermore, salary caps limit the ability to attract new talent, which these companies need. But it's not just that that worries the lobbies: their fate is also affected by the exodus of lobbyists and the loss of clients of great importance.

There are many examples that can be listed. First of all the "Ogily Government Relations" which, after a dispute with the sister companies, has lost its second largest client: Chevrone, also selling 4 large republican-style lobbyists.

The second case to mention is Wwp, in which there has been a flight of some talented lobbyists.

Finally, Dukto Graylin has also struggled in the past few years amid declining revenues, a significant loss of clients, and an exodus of lobbyists.

However, despite the general current economic situation, lobbying companies are no worse off than many other companies. Many lobbyists believe the situation is no worse than that of many companies in other industries. The workers in the sector believe that a change, an adaptation to the current situation is important and necessary, in order to allow lobbying companies to be able to compete, and continue to operate at a national and international level. In particular to be able to work in what they define as the capital of the world: Washington DC The city of power. Of ambitions. And some money.
